Clinton News-Record, 1961-11-09, Page 10More of Clinton Public School Pupils in 1929 This is another part of the 1929 Clinton Public School picture we borrowed from Tom Turner last week for the George II. Jef- ferson page. There was so much interest shown in it, and in the complete photo at the collegiate Saturday night, that on the re- quest of several, of the alumni of that year, we decided to publish this section also. A record breaking attend- ance, of delegates and visitors was on hand' for the tenth an- nual convention of the Ontario Farmers' Union in Lindsay, Oc- tober 23, 24 and 25. The change in location from Guelph to Lindsay, to make it easier for Eastern delegates 'to attend pr- oved a popular decision. Gordon Hill, immediate past president was elected conven- tion chairman. Monday's time- table was' devoted chiefly to resolutions. Approved, was a resolution from Seaforth Local calling for the inclusion of lic- ence:I nursing homes under the Ontario Hospital plan. The convention decided to set up a special committee which would be available to discuss agricultural policies with all political parties even at political conventions if re- quested. Mrs. Mearl Hopkins in her report said women should sup- plement the knowledge and skills of men with their pat- ience and determination, and be ready at all times to accept a full share of work and res- ponsibility, A. V. Cormack, known as the father of the Ontario Far- mers' Union was guest speaker at Monday's banquet. He traced the progress of the Ontario Fernier& Union since its neg was first felt by a small group of Ontario Farmers'. "Farming is' the finest, the purest and most wholesome way of life," he said, "You farmers' are the cream of the country, but your profession needs protection, and the On- tario Farmers' Union can sup- ply it." Greetings were brought from the Ontario Federation of La- bour by Morden Lazarus, the Ontario Federation of Agricul- tur by William Tilden and from the Department of Agriculture, by E. M. Biggs. Mr. Biggs' said it would take the efforts of both the Farmers' Union and Federation of Ag- riculture to fight vertical int- egration and said he hoped to see the day when one farm or- ganization would exist in On- tario. On Tuesday, Gordon Hill, chairman of the Ontario Far- mers' Union marketing com- mittee presented its report wh- ich was accepted by the ocn- vention. The report included a recommendation that market- ing boards set up advisory com- mittees composed of represent- atives of transporters and pro- cessors in an endeavour to work out, if possible, marketing plans acceptable to all con- cerned. • With specific regard. to milk the committee recommended; (1) A single milk marketing agency be built to overcome the inefficiency and duplication that exists. (2) All shippers of A grade milk to 'share in highest price. (3) Milk be priced according to food' value, rather than fat content. (4) An independeet body, such as Department of Agricul- ture be responsible for grading. (5) That two or three price levels 'be instituted for large Shippers who may flood the market. (6) That the marketing ag- ency direct all milk to the Most profitable market, (7) 'That the Provincial Gov- ernment take necessary steps, should present milk marketing organizations fail to agree.

This report shows very clear- ly 'that it 'is the policy of the processing industry to increase their profits by eliminating or intimidating competition rather than by any attempt to improve the efficiency of their proces- sing or selling methods. I do not know that farmers are justified in criticizing them for this but I do think that 'farm- ers are to be criticized for let- ting the meat processing in- dustry get away with this kind of operation. We can provide real competition and set the standards of efficiency for the whole in,dtmtry if we have the will •to do it. ft has been done with real benefits to the farm- ers in feed, fertilizer, and cas- ualty insurance, It is no more difficult in' meat processing. At the Zone meeting of Hu- ron and Perth Cream Produc- ers concern was expressed at the amount of propaganda that is being circulated about the contamination of milk 'by radio- active fallout, Yet series of tests in Britain have shown conclusively that the dairy cow is 'the best filtering agent yet devised. If there is danger that milk is contaminated what a- bout all our fruits and many of our vegetables? By resolution the cream pro- ducers' request that the Depart- ment of Health issue state- ments bi-weekly rto inform the public of the dangers involved if any. The cream producers• also urge that in the face of the much lamented' surplus of but- ter and skim milk powder that the government take some ob- Wheat Payment 29.3 Million For Western Farmers An interim wheat payment of ten cents per bushel on the 1960-61 wheat pool was an- noimced last week by agricul- tural Minister Alvin Hamilton. Producer deliveries' to the 1960-61 wheat pool totalled 392.8 million bushels which will result in, $39.3 million being distributed to western grain producers. Mr. Hamilton explained that this year the interim payment could be made' much earlier than in previous years because of the increased export per- formance experienced in recent months coupled with the gen- eral strengthening of wheat prices. The Canadian Wheat Board will commence issuing interim payment cheques immediately. vious steps to eliminate the problem. The surplus of both could be greatly relieved by encouraging farmers' to separ- ate the milk at home. Why are cream producers forgotten in the government subsidy on manufactered milk? Could it be that milk proces- sors and feed manufacturers Would not appreciate the res- ulting drop in volume of milk processing and sales' of concen- trates if the skim milk were retained on the farm? Little Pigs Need Special Care Keep in mind the importance of a supply of fresh water for your suckling pigs, stresses livestock specialists with the Ontario Department of Agri- culture. Young pigs that have all the clean water they will drink usually make more rapid gains and are more resistant to disease. They advise filling cl- ean troughs in the creep pens with fresh water, daily. When pigs are about ten days old, the flow of the sow's milk starts to diminish. At this stage, skim milk and cracked wheat or rolled oats will pro- vide a good supplementary feed (if you don't feed milk, use a good pre-starter commercial feed). Towards' weaning time, slow- ly start replacing the early feed with a commercial or home-mixed weaning pig ra- tion. Experiments in Canada have definitely proved that the heavier a pig is' at weaning time, the more quickly he will reach market weight. Canada's tallest tree, the Douglas fir, grows on the west coast and has been known to reach a height of 300 feet; east- ern Canada's tallest is the white pine, that grows to about 175 feet. President Tebbutt, criticized the Minister of Agriculture for not releasing the report of the Ontario Agriculture Marketing Committee. He stated conven- tion delegates were at a' de- cided disadvantage in not hav- ing an opportunity to -study the report of the committee before discussing convention resolutions which will set pol- icy for the coming year. Road from Blyth To Blue Water Opened Nov. 1 A significant 141/2 -mile long improvement to the road sys- tem of Huron County was marked' on Wednesday, Novem- ber 1, when the Hon. Fred M. Cass, QC, Minister of High- ways, officially opened Develop- ment Road No. 499 between Blyth and Highway 21, north of Goderich, C. S. MaoNaugh- ton, MPP for Huron and John Hanna, MPP for Huron-Bruce, assisted' in the opening cere- monies, held at Dunlop, where the western end of the new construction meets Highway 21. Members of Huron County 'q,•uncil, along with county of- ' ficials and staff, as well as representatives from the staff the Department of Highways attended. The new asphalt surface road is part of County Road 25. The high standard of construction was established by engineers, of the Department of Highways, working closely with the county officials. Specialists in the Department carried out soil investigation and 'provided oth- er engineering assistance. The actual design of the road was the responsibility of B. M. Ross, a Goderich Consulting Engineer. The county carried out the grading and all work preparatory to paving, which was done by contracts awarded by the county. Construction cost exceeds $646,000, all of which has been borne by the Department of Highways. The Department of High- ways for many years has been building Development Roads— assuming the entire cost of construction — to promote the economic growth of many areas and to improve materially road systems throughout Ontario. Expenditures 'for this type of road construction currently ap- proximate $8 million per year. Development Road No. 499 plays an important role in the economy of the area and serves as well-travelled connecting link between highways' in this part of Huron County, CAN DEHORN CATTLE WITHOUT FLY BOTHER Now that fall frosts have les- sened' the try problem, it's a good time to dehorn your cal- ves.

Local 66 urging, the assembly yard basis, as pro- vided for under the Ontario Hog Producers Marketing Sch- eme. Mr. Olaf Turnb(ill, Minister of Co-operatives for Saskat- chewan addressed the Conven- tion on Tuesday, "Most farmers would prefer to see the family farm as Canada's main agri- cultural producer," said Mr. Turnbull. "But there are pow- erful' interests who say econom- ics will not permit this, that a more efficient system is need- ed." "Many who offer solutions to the type of 'farming Canada should produce, have never been on a farm," said Mr. Turnbull. "These people say economics laws cannot be changed. This is nonsense. The laws of econ- omics were made by man. They can be changed by him." the minister said. Mr. Turnbull told• the conven- tion that politics touched ev- ery phase of living today and the Ontario Farmers' Union should keep 'this in mind.

Plowing when the soil is too wet can cause excessive pack- ing and reduce crop yields for the next year or even several years, says Don Clark, O.A.C. engineer, Start plowing soon- er, even though you might wear out a few more plowshares and use a little extra fuel.
